Is dating important in a relationship?

Answer 1

So you can get to know someone better before going into marriage.

Answer 2

Dating simply means spending time together away from your regular places of connection such as home, school, work and other places you usually spend time. Dating could mean time in a park, visiting a movie or coffee shop, or just a walk through the streets. The less familiar the surroundings, the better the opportunity to grow to know one another. Being together, away from familiar places, gives you time to learn about one another without the distractions of family, workmates and friends. Without these opportunities you won't be able to assess one another and discover your mutual likes and dislikes, including how you feel about your date and other friends.
Because it's a starter, first is acquaintance, then friend, then best friend, girl friend/boy friend, real love (passion), and marriage. If you want all of that to go well in the right order, your gonna have to take time, and go through every one of those stages. But if were talking about dating, dating is mostly important to see how much you love each other. To test if you both are truly into the same things, to see how much you would do for each other, to learn each others secrets, many many reasons. Dating is another part of love, its mostly to find out more about each other, and know maybe too much about your partner. But yes, dating is REALLY important.

Answer 3

That all depends on how you look at the relationship. Some people feel that being friends first works out better than just jumping into dating. Others say that you have to date someone first to see if you like them.

I know from personal experience, that being friends before dating just makes the relationship stronger. Yes, we are dating, but we focus more on the friendship aspect of the relationship rather than the importance of dating itself.

We go out, and do things couples do when theyre dating and we are happy just how we are. So it all depends on what you feel you want your relationship to start with. You could become friends first, then date... date and become friends along the way or focus completely on the dating aspect.
